Digital camera reviews of Creative EP-640 In-Ear Headphones
Digital camera Review: Good, for the price.
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought these headphones about 5 months ago. They work very good for the price (I paid $13 here on Amazon). The sound is very acceptable and the included carrying pouch is a nice feature. The only complaint that I have is that I cannot wear these headphones for more than an hour or so without my ears hurting. The rubber inserts seem to be a little too stiff. If you are an audiophile then these are not for you, but for occasional use they are perfect. You don't have to worry about breaking them either, since they are cheap.Digital camera Review: Great for small ears ...
Summary: 3 Stars
My original iPod earbuds were killing my ears because they were just way too big. I was looking for a set that was small enough for me to wear comfortably and these fit the bill perfectly. They came with 3 different sizes of soft rubber ear fittings (not sure what they're really called) which was great. As for the sound ... I'm not blown away by it. Even after going through the EQ on the iPod I never got them to sound as good as the Apple ones. I'm satisfied though, because they really do fit well and they really do block out most of the ambient sound. I WAS blown away that I received these in the mail the day after I ordered them.Digital camera Review: Great for the price

Had to get a pair to replace the crappy Apple ones that come default with the shuffle. I use these to work out and needed a pair that didn't fall out constantly. Since the Apple earphones didn't have any bass and barely if any mids, I wanted to make sure this new set did a better job in that regard.
I was pleased to hear the sound quality was pretty good when I first tested them out. Overall the sound is better than what I expected for such a cheap pair of earphones. The highs aren't muffled or tinny, mids are apparent and I can finally hear bass in songs. I'm sure you could find better earphones but you would be paying 3x-5x the price. There is cord noise when or if you bump the cord, but I only noticed this when I had the music paused and it wasn't very loud or anything to be concerned about.
As with any in-ear style earphone, you must make sure that it seals inside your ear canal otherwise the sound will not be as good. These also do a good job at blocking noise, I can't hear anyone when I have music playing (even at low levels) which makes people think I'm ignoring them but if I turn off the music I can still hold a conversation (so long as they aren't a light talker).
Just fyi, when I ordered these I was expecting a white pair seeing that the image is actually white but I received a black pair instead (same model number). Not sure if Amazon just messed up or they have the wrong picture displayed, however I'm glad I got black instead since the white ones get nasty after awhile of use in the gym.
Digital camera Review: Great set of headphones
Summary: 5 Stars
GREAT set of headphones, soo much better then the apple ones, the apple ones hurt after a while, these are in ear so its great.
I suggest not letting anyone else use these
these aren't the type to share, it gets quite disgusting if you don't clean your ears as often as u should.
I am a sound person, and the sound isn't as good as a digital connection, like usb but its for like portable audio equipment soo these are probably some of the best.
i bought 2 sets, just in case.
ABOUT LAPTOPS AND HEADPHONES
Ive tested out these headphones on a
vostro 1500
and levovo sl400
they both give off the static
as well as the apple ones, and jvc ones, they all get static,
its probably part of the sound card that causes the problem.
Digital usb headphones on the other hand don't get any static,
if you are goign to use headphones/headsets on a laptop,
i suggest a usb connection
i have a microsoft lx 3000- and i havent noticed any static, and music sounds decent. microphone is great for gamming, been using it and not one complaint about feed back, static, or not loud enough.
Digital camera Review: Hard to say when they broke after two weeks...
Summary: 3 Stars
Alright, so FIRST OFF, let me just say, the whole reason I bought this the 640s instead of the 630s (and this is shallow, I know), is because it showed that they were white. I figured, okay, I can pitch in five or ten extra bucks to get ones that match my iPod, because I'm seriously anal about things matching like that. Guess what? I got them in the mail, and they were black. Way to misrepresent the product Amazon.
Nonetheless, I didn't want to deal with the hassle of returning them and waiting, etc., so I kept them. And the sound was, indeed, quite good. As some have mentioned, the bass is very nice. I also felt that the ear pieces fit very snugly into my ears and didn't fall out at all or make annoying noises like some ill-fitting buds do when jogging or using the elliptical. So, in other words, despite being misled on color, I really enjoyed these for two weeks.
But then the left bud shorted out, and, stupid me, the receipt got thrown away with the shipping materials. That's a lot of money down the drain for me to readily pick up a replacement of these hoping it was just a bad pair and that another pair won't do that. This is why it's hard for me to give it anything more or less than a three because though I would give it a two or one for shorting out after two weeks and because they weren't the product represented in the picture, the sound was indeed nice and they fit well and all that jazz, but I can't let the bad things go unnoticed.
I'll say this: go for the 630s. Everyone seems to think they sound the same, they're cheaper, and they look the exact same as what you'll get when you order this. The only difference I believe is that these have a pouch that comes with them. JUST MAKE SURE YOU KEEP YOUR RECEIPT lest you encounter the terrible luck I did. :(
